If you are not aware, this is z/OS running on x86 for dev/test work.  Anyone 
doing this in the real world?   We've got architects in the corporation that 
head about this, and want to discuss it.   I just don't know enough about it to 
know if it's a big deal, or a breadbox with regards to building and supporting.

My concerns:
- are how to support
- is it an identical image of standard lpars on Z?
- security
- etc, etc, etc.

I did a few searches on google looking for a past SHARE presentation for a 
10,000' view.    To my uneducated self, it sounds like an easy way for 
management to defer mainframe cpu costs, but at a huge support cost.  Am I 
wrong?
